I'm Sari.

And I'm Haley.

And this is Seamwork Radio.

Welcome, Alexia. We're so happy to have you on today.

Thank you so much. I'm excited to chat with you guys.

So we open every episode with a little icebreaker.

And today we have an icebreaker that was submitted by Holly N.

So I'm going to read it here.

So Holly says, since most of us have other creative endeavors other than sewing, what other hobbies do you do?

So that's actually very related to our topic today.

So maybe Alexia, you can start us off and tell us about all your other hobbies. Oh my gosh. That's actually very related to our topic today. So maybe, Alexia, you can start us off and tell us about all your other hobbies.

Oh my gosh. That's perfect. I feel very passionate about hobbies. I've never met a hobby I didn't want to do, I think. But really, I think I spend the most time outside of work knitting because it's so easy to do at home on the couch.

And I love to garden.

That is a big one.

I discovered the joys of growing my own food a few years ago and have never looked back.

Half of my backyard is now a pretty big garden.

I love to cook and bake.

During the pandemic, I could not go to my pottery studio.

And I decided that I needed something else.

So I started oil painting a little bit.

I have a box of beads.

I think that counts, right?
